No. If you do that you will know more about the law than most lawyers and that will scare them.

We're in the wrong business

Preparation work rates range from £70 to £100 gross per hour for a junior barrister to £91 to £145 per hour for a QC. For a day in court the rates range from £285 to £476 for a top QC. In a privately funded case, he or she could earn at least double that. A commercial barrister earns up to £500 an hour.
